Hello xstream committers.

I started to create a new dsl to write nodes in xstream converters. The
idea is to facilitate the use of converters and writing less.

The project is a available on github:
https://github.com/aparra/xstream-writer-dsl

Look at some ways to use:

converter to Client:

public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
MarshallingContext context) {
  build(writer, context).to(source)
    .node("code", "#id")
    .node("fullName", "#name")
    .node("#email")
    .delegate("home-address", "#address");
}

converter to Address:

public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
MarshallingContext context) {
  build(writer, context).to(source)
    .node("#street")
    .node("#city")
    .node("#state")
    .node("#country")
    .node("zip-code", "#zipCode");
}

converter to Order:

public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
MarshallingContext context) {
  build(writer, context).to(source)
    .node("#id")
    .collection("#products");
}

converter to User.Role:

public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
MarshallingContext context) {
  build(writer, context).node("role", source);
}

converter to Invoice:

public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
MarshallingContext context) {
  build(writer, context).to(source)
    .node("#id")
    .node("total", "#amount", options(":if_not_null"))
    .node("#dueDate", options(":date_format => dd/MM/yyyy"));
}


What do you think of this new form of writing nodes?
